Museum Of Small Things

Hello! I’m back. Did you miss me?

Well, it’s pretty clear I’m rubbish at blogging. I suppose it was to be expected really. I’m bad enough replying to texts and emails, as anyone who knows me will tell you, so the chances of me keeping this blog up to date were always pretty slim. But hey, let’s not worry about that now.

I’ve been pretty busy the last few months but as this site is only about my personal work I don’t have too much to report I’m afraid. I finally managed to finish my comic, it’s 26 pages long and I’m pretty happy with it. I’m not sure what’s gonna happen to it at the moment, maybe I’ll start posting bits of it here.

Also I’m currently exhibiting my four films at the Museum Of Small Things at Selfridges. I’m very pleased to be part of the show and had a great time last Sunday checking out the rest of the work. I met a few people who had some lovely things to say about my films too which was really nice.

More photos… (more…)

Videos updated

I’ve updated all the films on the site using vimeo, as their player is obviously a lot better than the one I made. So now you can watch my animations in better quality.

As you may have noticed the regular updates about my current project haven’t exactly come flooding in. I’m really enjoying what I’m working on at the moment but I don’t want to post anything just yet. Updates to come soon though…honestly.

New work

Yes, the familiar humming of my projector indicates I’ve started a new animation. As you’ve probably noticed I’m a bit rubbish at keeping this blog updated but I’m hoping to turn that around by posting regular updates on how the projects going. Hopefully.

Comic update 2

Well I’m pretty happy with the story, and I’ve added a bit of colour to some of the characters. I’ve missed doing an animation of late so I’ve decided to start working on another film while trying to sort out the dialogue for the comic at the same time.

New prints available

AnimateTV 2008 repeated on Channel 4

Tear Drops on the telly

Tear Drops Blossom will be screened again on Channel 4 on Monday 2 February at 00.20 as part of AnimateTV 2008. So if you missed the show the first time round now’s your chance to watch it, or tape it, or Sky plus it, or whatever else it is you do these days.

me + you – original music

I was having a rummage through my Hard Drive the other day and I stumbled upon what was the very beginnings of the music for my animation
me + you -“. Listening to it brought back loads of memories, I remember being really into resonance and distortion at the time and spent hours messing around with my keyboard to get the sound right. Hours wasted really as I ended up using a completely different synth and song.

But anyway, if your interested click play to have a listen. Also, if you haven’t already, you can buy a “me + you – cutout toy” from my shop.
